One last quality Kerry Film Festival event on the horizon before year end

Saturday December 2nd sees the last event in what was another highly successful and quality packed 2017 for all concerned with Kerry Film Festival. From the Patron Scheme Evening at the Ashe Hotel to the screening of the highly successful and 15 time British Independent Film Award nominee Lady Macbeth to the numerous entertaining Open Air Cinema events 2017 was a fantastic year for all concerned with KFF culminating in yet another outstanding film festival in Killarney last October.
This Saturday sees the screening of The Welfare of Tomás Ó Hallissy in the very area that the film was shot.
The Welfare of Tomas Ó Hallissy was filmed in and around the Kerry village of Dún Chaoin and directly integrates newly scripted material shot with actors with footage from The Village which was also set in Dún Chaoin.
This new film is set against a fictional visit by two American anthropologists to Dún Chaoin, mirroring the premise of Hockings and McCarty’s 1968 documentary. Campbell’s original material also echoes key scenes from the documentary that captured the day to day routine of the village; the creamery, turf cutting, rabbit hunting and gatherings in the local pub.

This free of charge event has the added appeal of the director Duncan Campbell in attendance and promises to be a great evening.
